“Egg Flower” Soup and Fried Rice

The basis of the soup is my homemade chicken stock and the flavoring was inspired by this lentil soup recipe which we love. The basis of the fried rice is, well, rice – brown rice. I should tell you up front that neither of these are close to authentic but they tasted wonderful.

"Egg Flower" Soup

Nourishing and delicious with homemade chicken stock. You can substitute beef stock, for a slightly heartier flavor or vegetable stock for a lighter flavor.

Course Soup

Ingredients

  

• 1/2 medium onion sliced
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamon *
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon *
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves *
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper *
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg *
• 1/2 gallon chicken stock
• 1 Tablespoon soy Sauce or more to taste
• sea salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste
• 3 pastured eggs beaten

Instructions

 

• In your favorite soup pot cook the onion in the coconut oil over low heat until just soft.
• Add the spices and stir to release their fragrance.
• Then add the chicken stock, cook over medium until heated through.
• Then add your soy sauce, salt and pepper (I use quite a bit of salt because I don't salt my stock in advance) until it tastes the way you want it to.
• Bring to a boil.
• Slowly pour in the beaten eggs while stirring.
• Ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

*For these spices you could use the all ready mixed up version of Garam Marsala.

You can also make this soup without the Garam Marsala spices and it will still be delicious.

Fried Rice

medium onion- sliced
2 Tablespoon coconut oil
Veggies of your choice chopped into small pieces
leftover meat, cut in small pieces (optional)
leftover cooked brown rice
soy sauce- a couple of swigs
salt and pepper to taste
Additional coconut oil or other oil of your choice
2 pastured eggs- beaten

Cook the onion in the coconut oil over low heat until just beginning to soften. Add your veggies (I use carrots, celery, broccoli, or whatever happens to be lurking in the fridge) cook for a few minutes until crisp tender. Add your cooked, leftover meat if using. Add a little more oil if needed and then add your rice. Stir it around and add your soy sauce, salt and pepper. Then add more of your oil (I actually used chicken fat for my oil this time). I like to let it crisp a little before I stir it around. When it is heated through scoot the rice over to the side and pour in your eggs and scramble them. Mix it all up and serve.

When I was a teen my mom worked in a Chinese restaurant. I would stop in there sometimes and loved watching the owners make the fried rice. They used plenty of oil (I’m sure a vegetable oil) and plenty of soy sauce (probably not naturally fermented) this is a pretty good re-creation of that rice made more nourishing.
